Funded Activity Summary

Our metabolism is aligned with the 24-hour rotation of the earth in what is termed the circadian clock. Being misaligned to this clock explains jetlag and the poor health associated with shift-workers. For example, whether fat is utilised or stored depends on the time of day. This study aims to investigate the post-transcriptional mechanisms that underpin the rhythmic changes that occur throughout our bodies to ensure that our metabolism is matched to our environment.
